A great end to a fantastic series

Mistborn is one of those series that gets better the further along the series you go.
Not because each book gets better and better.
But because with the knowledge of each book, you progress through the story with more information to process and consider what is happening. Things start to make sense and everything unfolds for you because Sanderson is a master of his craft.
Going back and rereading things let's you understand how he was crafting everything very purposefully from the start, and each nugget of information was placed so perfectly that when you go back to listen you can see he had a very clear vision of the story from the start.
Things in book 1 crack wide-open after revelations in book 3.
That is why I love this author, and his Cosmere writings. I am very much looking forward to seeing the wider Cosmere come together as more and more books are released.
Thank you Brandon, for everything you have done, and will continue to do.

Brilliant

I really enjoyed this book and the whole series! Kept me fixated. I really enjoyed the concept of “good and evil” not being exactly that, and how is as humans are flawed and complex as we war with thin ourselves with ruin and preservation.

Great closure

The way the author tied in the trilogy was excellent. A little bittersweet, but overall satisfying ending to the epic fantasy tale. Great stepping stone laid at the end too in preparation for the continuation. Great read.

Great finish for the trilogy

A wonderful book which finish the series perfectly.
The narrator was excellent, though I suspect a few confusions, nothing major.
